About Annai

Annai Burrola is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on building calm, steady relationships in therapy. She greets people in English and Spanish and aims to make sharing hard things feel a little easier. Signing up can feel brave, and she acknowledges that first step.

Her work centers on trauma, anxiety, stress, and depression. She also addresses parenting concerns, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and self-esteem. Annai supports people navigating identity topics such as LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, and polyamory or consensual nonmonogamy questions.

Background and approach

Annai brings three years of clinical experience along with a decade of community support work. That combination shapes a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in the room and on small changes that add up over time.

She uses approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand bonds and feelings in relationships. Mindfulness and Client-Centered techniques are used to slow things down and follow what the client needs in the moment. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels stuck.

People describe her as trauma-informed, bilingual, and bicultural. She identifies as ALGBTQ2+ and provides sex-positive care. Her practice affirms neurodiversity and offers an accepting space for diverse life choices and family arrangements.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. Online sessions can use this work to map relationship dynamics and try new ways of connecting with others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift core emotions that show up in relationships, which can improve closeness and reduce repeated conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center and emphasizes listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, personal style, and the issues at hand. That conversation often begins in the first few sessions and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer visual interaction. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit into a work break when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, ongoing check-ins, or times when writing helps to organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on meaningful emotional work.
